Description
Grace Caskie, Benjamin Johnson, and Eve Root asked which kinds of aging knowledge, and how much contact with older adults, shape ageist attitudes in doctoral psychology students, in a 2023 study. A known model names knowledge and contact as the two keys to cutting ageism. Earlier work leaned on undergraduates and lumped all knowledge into one score.
The team surveyed 192 doctoral students with scales for contact, aging facts, and five ageism measures. Split by domain, the results surprised: knowing psychological aging tied to fewer stereotypes, while knowing biological aging tied to more ageism on every measure. Social aging knowledge tied to more kindly, patronizing ageism. More contact tied to less distance and less negative feeling. The split view shows that what students learn matters, not just how much.
